It's fairer to tax what people don't earn from land than what people do earn from work.

Even those who own lots of land could agree with that basic principle. In exchange, everyone's equity from work and productivity would grow.

Working should get more tax relief than gains from owning land. We have it backwards.

A land value tax can leave most households better off, experiencing net income and property tax relief.

It can begin to fix incentives in a housing market to chase land gains and bid up prices.

Working should get more tax relief than gains from owning land. We have it backwards.

That's a vision that can lead us to a Star Trek instead of a Star Wars future, where progress benefits everyone, not just whoever bought everything up first.

Basic income is just using existing money in the economy more efficiently.

You've heard of universal basic income. What about universal basic capital?

Billionaire Nicolas Berggruen says it's how we tackle inequality and give citizens a stake in a nation's success.

"As opposed to taxing the robots, why not own the robots?"

Even with a basic income, working class people will *always* be trying to outrun the cost of living — no matter how productive we get.

That's why we'll never solve poverty unless we tax and broadly share the rent of land.

As Mark Carney said, there's "substantial evidence of job polarization" due to technology.
